The proposed collection includes two early works of Cortasar, "exam" and "sabotage" written by him when he was still in search of his literary style. However, they already feel the mood that he himself called "Buenos Aires" sadness", and that elusive unsteady music of the word and a sense of intellectual game with the reader, which later became a characteristic feature of his inimitable prose.
"And the sleeping city seems from the balcony
Apolar gland, illuminated
with a bitter color of white margaritians".
A city is dying, seized with a strange and frightening madness of rebellious nature and the bloody chaos of social cataclysms. And in this almost Kafkian nightmare, two young couples walk along the night streets on the eve of an important exam and lead an endless intellectual dispute. The foggy city, the foggy prospects, the energy of their hot hearts and the bitterness of divided love through the edge. Today they are together, but by the end of the coming day, life will forever divorce them in different directions.
* * *
An attempt to solve the meaning of an unfinished picture leads the company of young people to the unsteady world of symbols and metaphors, in which people, and things, and even the meanings of familiar words are not what they seem. In the world of the game, the rules of which are incomprehensible to us, and the essence is unclear - however, we vaguely guess that they still exist
